Su Yuchen sat at the bow, looking far into the distance, only to see a black line stretching endlessly in the distance, with mountains and clouds faintly visible.

After more than an hour of sailing, the boat approached and saw the whole picture of the island, but it was full of strange rocks, scorching waves crashing on the shore, dense vegetation on the island, and a mountain towering into the clouds.

The island was lush and green, full of vitality, and occasionally you could see birds flying in the forest, birds singing in the mountain streams, and insects singing in the wilderness.

The man turned the bow and headed towards the leeward side of the island, bypassing the reefs and strange rocks, and a golden beach spread out in front of him.

Looking around, under the warm sun, golden sand and fine waves, dozens of large and small boats, rolling up thousands of piles of snow.

"What a beautiful scenery," Su Yuchen exclaimed.

The man smiled it off, obviously he had seen it so many times that he was used to it.

When the boat docked, Su Yuchen jumped off the boat and saw four people running out of the forest. The leader bowed and asked, "But Boss Su is here. I am the welcoming envoy of Xiake Island. The island owner is waiting for you at the guesthouse."

Su Yuchen bowed in return and said, "It's Su. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting!"

The man was slightly stunned, then he stretched out his hand to lead the way and headed into the forest first.

………………

While walking, I paid attention to Su Yuchen's expression. Seeing that he looked calm, he obviously admired the surrounding scenery very much. I couldn't help but secretly said...

"In recent years, people who come to the island are either panic-stricken, or pretend to be calm, or curse, or want to die."

"Only this Su Gang leader is different. He is really calm, as if he is here for fun, and he treats us with courtesy."

While thinking, the man led the way and said, "If Su Gang leader is interested, you can find me as a guide to tour the whole island after you settle down in the guesthouse."

Su Yuchen nodded in thanks, but thought that he only had half a month, and he didn't know if he had extra time to visit here.

The man didn't know what he thought of, and he didn't say anything after that.

Not long after entering the woods, the wild grass road under his feet turned into a winding path paved with stone slabs, winding through the woods, and no one knew where it led to.

After walking for several miles, the man led the way and turned into a rocky mountain road. On the left side of the road was a mountain stream, with turbulent water rushing and splashing, making the rocks jingle.

The crowd walked along the mountain stream and gradually rose higher. After turning two corners, they saw a waterfall falling straight down from a height of more than ten feet. In the sun, a rainbow hung on the mist, which looked magnificent.

"The sun shines on the incense burner and produces purple smoke. Looking from afar, the waterfall hangs in front of the river. The waterfall falls straight down three thousand feet, and it seems that the Milky Way falls from the sky."

Su Yuchen praised: "The beauty of the waterfall, Li Bai is not deceiving me."

The man just smiled. He was not proficient in poetry and songs. He felt that this Su Gang leader was not like a martial artist, but more like a first-class traveler and writer.

When they got here, the man who led the way took out an oilcloth raincoat from behind a big tree beside the road, handed it to Su Yuchen, pointed to the back of the waterfall and said: "The guesthouse is built in Shuile Cave. Please put on the raincoat, Boss Su, to avoid getting your clothes wet."

"Oh? It's really a different world." Su Yuchen took the raincoat and put it on.

The man nodded, walked to the waterfall, jumped in, and Su Yuchen followed him in.

After entering, it was dark for a moment before I saw that there was a long corridor here. There were oil lamps on both sides of the road. Although the light was a little dim, the road could be distinguished.

Su Yuchen followed his man into the corridor. It was found that the corridor was built according to the natural cave in the belly of the mountain, and most of the connecting parts had traces of artificial excavation, which obviously took a lot of effort to build.

"No wonder there are so many disciples on Xiake Island, and so many martial arts heroes gather here, but there are no buildings outside the island. It turns out that such a large area has been opened up inside the mountain." Su Yuchen thought as he walked.

After walking for a while, Su Yuchen felt that the terrain was getting lower and lower, as if he was going down. The air was not stuffy, but full of moisture, and he could feel a slight breeze. He couldn't help but wonder, "Could it be that the people on Xiake Island have hollowed out the bottom of the mountain?"

While thinking, the two had already walked into a cave. There was the sound of flowing water in the cave, gurgling and jingling, like a zither, crisp and pleasant, like hitting a jade chime, which was the origin of the "Shuile Cave".

The cave was tall and wide, like a welcoming gatehouse. Looking up, at the other end of the cave, there was a jade-made cave door with three large characters "Yingbin" carved on the door lintel.

………………

Walking into the stone gate, it seemed like a different world. The original natural roughness was neatly trimmed. The ground underfoot was no longer bumpy, but paved with neat bluestone slabs.

On both sides of the cave, stone caves were opened up and arranged neatly. Some of the cave openings were burning.Tallow candles, obviously someone lives there.

The man led Su Yuchen to the first place on the left, took out a fire starter from his arms, lit the tallow lamp at the door, then took out a candle from the side and lit it, and led the way into the cave.

Su Yuchen followed him in, and saw that the cave was fully equipped with tables and chairs, all carved out of rocks. At the end, there was a bed carved out of rocks, with bedding on it.

I don’t know how much effort these people spent, the air in the cave was flowing, and there was no stuffiness at all. Su Yuchen didn’t care about these things, so he sat at the stone table.

The man lit candles in several directions in the cave, and a little light refracted from the top of the cave, reflecting the snow-whiteness of the cave.

Su Yuchen looked up and saw a round bead polished by crystal, reflecting the light of the candle.

At this moment, a little boy came in at the door. Seeing Su Yuchen, he was not unfamiliar with him. He smiled slightly, put the fruits and water in his hand on the table, and retreated.

The man bowed to Su Yuchen and said, "Boss Su, you can rest here for a while. Today is Laba Festival, and Laba porridge will be prepared today. When the banquet starts, I will come to pick you up and take you to the banquet hall. The island owner will also show up to meet you."

Su Yuchen had no choice but to follow the host's wishes and not show too much eagerness for martial arts, otherwise he, an outsider, would not be able to explain himself. He came here to steal martial arts, not to destroy someone else's family.

Su Yuchen nodded, indicating that he was free to do as he pleased, and the man left. Su Yuchen was not in the mood to eat or drink, so he drank some water and sat cross-legged on the bed to regulate his breath and rest his mind.

Without thinking or feeling, I don't know how long it has been, it seems like a long time, but it seems like only a moment.

There was a sound of footsteps outside the cave, and it stopped at the entrance. The man leading the way came in: "Boss Su, the banquet has started, you can go to the banquet."

When the footsteps sounded, Su Yuchen had already woken up. Hearing this, he did not hesitate and got up and walked towards the cave entrance.

When the man saw him coming out, he bowed his hands, made a gesture of invitation, and led the way into the cave.

After passing through two caves, he heard a sound of stringed instruments and orchestras. Su Yuchen approached and saw that this was actually a huge cave.

The cave was half the size of a football field, surrounded by colorful stalagmites, natural landscapes such as stone bamboo. The cave was reflected in a magnificent way.
